Death Spiral

When Faith Flores finds her mother dead from what appears to be a heroine overdose, she can’t believe it. Her mom had been clean for weeks, and Faith insists that something else must have happened. A stranger had visited them the same day she died – a man who appeared to be threatening her mother – and Faith suspects foul play.

Once settled in at her Aunt T’s place, she never expects to hear from one of her mother’s junkie friends. But when Melinda tells her about the clinical trial she and Faith’s mom had participated in, Faith has to look into it. And what she finds out will ultimately lead her to the truth.

Growing up as the daughter of a heroin addict living in a run-down section of Philadelphia, Faith has few friends. As her investigation develops, she’s forced to let her best friend and love interest in on it, allowing them to see the parts of herself she normally keeps hidden.

Death Spiral is a wild ride from start to finish and I couldn’t put it down. Faith is fearless in facing dangerous situations head-on, giving little thought to personal safety as she attempts to clear her mother’s name. I’m looking forward to seeing more of this Faith Flores Science Mystery series.

How to Request a Review

Now in our 12th year. Over 1,000 books reviewed!

If you’d like to have your book reviewed, please contact us at the following email addresses with a synopsis of your book. Please use the subject header “Review Requested: Title of your book” so your request doesn’t go to our spam folder. Don’t send a file copy of your book as an attachment – it will not be read. We do not promote any crowd funding campaigns. We only review print books. No e-books or electronic copies of any kind will be considered.

We normally only respond if we’re accepting your book. Follow-ups can be made after two weeks to be sure we’ve received your email. If we don’t respond at that time, you can assume we’re not interested. Once we have agreed to review your book, we will provide a mailing address.

We are conservative Catholics and we don’t review books that include the promotion of “alternative lifestyles.” We are also pro-Trump and we’re very tired of being asked to review books that disparage our President. If you pitch anti-Trump books, we will request to be removed from your mailing list. NO exceptions!

Due to the large volume of requests we receive, we may not be able to fit your book into our schedule. We are only two people, so if we do accept your book, please anticipate at least a six month wait for your review to be posted–we follow a “first-in, first-out” schedule. We have day jobs, too, and this is a free service we offer to authors.

Acceptance of your book does not guarantee a review. At this time, we will consider self-published works on very limited basis, and only if they are accompanied by a favorable and trustworthy review.

For a complete listing of all books reviewed, please see the Catalog. All books featured on this site have been provided free of charge to the reviewer.
